Responsiveness and Minimal Clinically Important Difference (MCID) of Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis (KOOS-12) in (OA)

March 23, 2025 updated by: Muhammad Naveed Babur, Superior University

Responsiveness and Minimal Clinically Important Difference (MCID) of Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score-12 (KOOS-12) in Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis (OA): A Prospective Cohort Study.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common and disabling constant Musculoskeletal Disorder that causes significant weight on individual, Health Care Systems, and social economy. With the maturing of the populace and the commonness of undesirable way of life practices, the predominance and disease burden of OA are expanding day by day. Different non-surgical interventions have been introduced worldwide for the treatment of knee OA. The aim of this study is to determine the responsiveness and minimal clinically important difference for knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome score-12 in knee OA patients respectively.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
PT-intervention
60 participants undergoing PT-intervention for about 3 months will be taken and questionnaire (KOOS-12) will be filled by them at regular intervals of baseline, 4, 8 and 12 weeks respectively while global rating of change questionnaire will be filled by them at start and end of intervention and these values will be compared to see if patients' condition has improved or not.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome score-12 (KOOS-12)
Time Frame: 12 Months

It mainly consisted of 3 sub-parts having 12 questions that include Pain, Function, and QOL. No. of score for each item is from 0-4 and the mean score is 100 where 0 indicates dangerous practical difficulties and 100 indicates normality.

Scale Name:2.2.

12 Months
GLOBAL RATING OF CHANGE (GRC) USING ANCHOR-BASED METHOD
Time Frame: 12 months
This questionnaire will ask the participators to evaluate their present condition with their baseline condition. The scale consists of 15 points on it from -7 to 7, whereby -7 displays a very great deal worse, 0 symbols as remain same, and 7 reflects as a very great deal better. This is used to classify the members into the "change" group including points ±6-±7 points and "no change" group including 0-±5 points for evaluating MCID.
